指挥詹姆斯·莱文（James Levine）将于2021年重返舞台
已经宣布，指挥家詹姆斯·莱文（James Levine）将在2020-2021赛季的Maggio Musicale佛罗伦萨艺术节上回到音乐会舞台。
本周宣布，指挥家詹姆斯·莱文（James Levine）将在2020年至2021年赛季在意大利佛罗伦萨的马焦欧·菲奥伦蒂诺艺术节上重返音乐会舞台。
现年74岁的莱文（Levine）于12月被辞去纽约大都会歌剧院音乐总监一职。
莱文（Levine）从1976年到2016年4月担任大都会歌剧院音乐总监-进行了2500多场演出。
内部调查发现有关对年轻艺术家的性虐待行为的可信证据后，终止了合同。
“我一直试图保护被妖魔化的人……对与错，这就是我的样子……” Maggio Musicale导演亚历山大·佩雷拉（Alexander Pereira）本周告诉《美国音乐》。
“在为音乐做出了巨大贡献之后，Levine沉默了很长一段时间，我认为音乐界需要听他的声音……我们与Levine的经纪人一起努力说服他，但是我认为最终影响他决定的是他非常想念音乐，”他说。
指挥家祖宾·梅塔（Zubin Mehta）本周也对这一决定表示支持。
Conductor James Levine To Return to Podium in 2021
It has been announced that conductor James Levine will return to the concert stage at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Arts Festival - during the 2020-2021 season
It has been announced this week that conductor James Levine will return to the concert stage at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Arts Festival in Florence, Italy – during the 2020-2021 season.
Levine, 74, was suspended from his position as Music Director of New York’s Metropolitan Opera in December。
Levine served as Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera from 1976 until April 2016 – conducting more than 2500 performances.
The termination came after an internal investigation’s findings of credible evidence of sexually abusive conduct towards young artists.
“I always try to protect people that are demonized … rightly or wrongly, that’s how I am …” Maggio Musicale Director Alexander Pereira has this week told Musical America.
“Levine has been silent for such a long time, after contributing so much to music, and I think that the musical world needs to hear him … we worked hard with Levine’s agent to convince him, but I think what ultimately swayed his decision is that he is missing music making so much,” he has said.
Conductor Zubin Mehta also this week lent his support to the decision.
